Laying "Table Mats" on Guest Tables is Stylish*
For bride-to-be's who want to create a homey and casual atmosphere at their wedding reception, there's a recommended item♡
That is the "table mat" to be laid on guest tables.
The original design printed on kraft paper table mats is a magical item that instantly creates a friendly and stylish atmosphere like an overseas wedding party just by laying it down.*
Until now, table mats were only incorporated by some natural wedding brides...
But their charm has been gradually spreading, and they have recently become quite common♡
Therefore, in this article, we will thoroughly explain the appeal of the trending "table mats"*
Those who thought, "Isn't that a bit too casual?" will surely want to incorporate table mats into their guest table decor♩
The Charm of Guest Tables × Table Mats ① Gorgeous Appearance
The first charm is the gorgeous appearance. In a typical guest table arrangement,
☑ Table flowers
☑ Decorative plates and cutlery
☑ Napkins
are usually arranged, but...
On large round tables, there may be a wide space between the plates and the central flower arrangement, which can sometimes feel a bit empty.
The lower the rank of the floral arrangement, the smaller the flowers become, increasing the vacant space on the table, which is a concerning point.
In that regard, with A4 to B4 size table mats, you can occupy a large area of the table just by laying them down, creating a very gorgeous atmosphere♡
If you prepare color-printed table mats instead of monochrome ones, the entire guest table can instantly be filled with a bright atmosphere like flowers blooming♡
It's also nice that this can be done at a much lower cost than scattering fresh flowers on the table.
Table mats are items that dramatically enhance the table decor just by being laid down!*
The Charm of Guest Tables × Table Mats ② Unique Table Coordination
Not only do they enhance the visual appeal, but table mats also allow for uniqueness.
A guest table combining a burlap and striped table mat looks very rustic and stylish!
A simple blackboard-style table mat designed with white logos on a black background serves as an accent for the guest table.
Even if there are other brides in the same venue who ordered similar floral arrangements, the presence or absence of table mats and their design can significantly change the impression.
The Charm of Guest Tables × Table Mats ③ Allows Greetings and Menus to be Placed
Table mats also excel in practicality.
Not only can you print stylish English phrases and wedding logos,
☑ Menu Items
☑ Drink Menu
can also be displayed♩
If the table mat is placed under each guest's plate,
there's no need to keep a profile book on the guest table, nor is it necessary to pass around the same drink menu among those at the same table.
A former bride who printed menus on table mats mentioned that guests found it easy to order drinks, receiving positive feedback◎
Furthermore, in addition to the menu,
☑ Greetings
☑ Guest Names
can also be included.
An original table mat designed with guest names can also serve as a place card, doubling the value◎
There have been delightful testimonials that "many guests took the table mats home as a keepsake."
The Charm of Guest Tables × Table Mats ④ Can Be Handcrafted
The versatile item that becomes the focal point of guest table decor is the table mat. The fact that you can make them yourself is also appealing.
You can create your favorite design in A4 to B4 size and simply print it on kraft paper. You can even print it at home, making it relatively easy for DIY compared to a profile book.*
Plus, if you opt for monochrome printing, you can keep costs down, which is great for budget-conscious brides.
